2023 Bahrain F1 pre-season test: team line-ups for each testing day. Team line-ups for each testing day.

The 2023 Formula One pre-season testing session will take place from 23 to 25 February at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain, where the first Grand Prix of the year will also start the following week. Drivers and teams await these three days of work on the track with a lot of excitement and also some anxiety, above all because it will be the only practice session allowed for the teams before the start of the new Formula 1 championship.

Until now, the engineers have only been able to see their cars at work during the 100 km filming days which are allowed only with the goal of creating content to be supplied to the partners and sponsors.

A necessary but certainly insufficient shakedown to prepare for what will be the longest season in the history of Formula 1, with 23 GPs scheduled this season. It will also be very important for the teams to organize the work of their drivers since, by equally dividing the, everyone will have just one and a half days of testing at their disposal. It will therefore be up to each team principal to define which driver to run and in which testing session given that, as is always happening in these tests, the work will be divided between a morning session and an afternoon one.

The first team to outline the order and schedule of their drivers was Haas, which decided to field newcomer Nico Hulkenberg on Thursday and Saturday mornings and on Friday afternoon. Kevin Magnussen will instead drive the new VF23 in the other slots: Thursday afternoon, Friday morning and Saturday afternoon.
